Ripwave-MX PCMCIA Card
Pre-WiMax card appears on market
Navini Networks has launched a PC card that will hook mobile devices to 3.5GHz "fixed" wireless broadband services.
It's not a Ripwave-MX PCMCIA Card, but it's part of an upgrade to mobile WiMax when it arrives, says the company.
"It's not a WiMax card, because the 802.16e standard is not complete," said Sai Subramanian vice president
marketing at Navini. "But the solution we offer today has all the attributes of a 802.16e plug and play portable
broadband system: you can have broadband wherever you are."
The card, launched at the WiMax Summit in Paris, can be used with fixed wireless networks based on Navini's proprietary
Ripwave products. These include Irish Broadband, and Unwired Australia, which has a 3.5GHz network covering Sydney.
It uses Navini's Smart Antennas and adaptive beam forming, to deliver mobile broadband, said Subramanian.
The Ripwave-MX PCMCIA Card will cost Navini's service provider customers more than a Wi-Fi card, but will be sold cheaply or bundled
with a broadband service, he said: "The basic idea behind personal broadband is to give the end user a service
that is not that much more expensive than DSL or cable," said Subramanian. "You can charge a little bit of
a premium, but not a factor of ten, like some of the 3G guys are doing."
